Stiff actors?
 
Sorry about this but I think Tarrentino is really stiff when he acts. Yeah, sure he gets great lines, but he seemed stiff and over doing the lines a bit. (refering to pulp fiction.)

John Holmes was usually pretty stiff... -ptth-

The definition of stiffness is William Shatner. The. man. is. a. wooden. statue.

He's a side character in "Pulp Fiction." Pretty much only making an appearance.

Well, you should watch "From Dusk Till Dawn." Very funny with Clooney.

Some people seem to feel Keanu Reeves is stiff.....

Keanu Reeves gets my #1 vote. what a tool.

good thing he didn't have the important lines in the Matrix. all i remember him saying was "whoa" like 10 times.

I only remember him saying it after the roof jump when he sees Morpheus do it.

Groucho 05-04-03 06:26 PM

How about John Wayne? He's always been popular, but he does deliver all his lines in the same way, pilgrim.

Tom Green seemed to be stiff in everything he does.

Slyvester Stallone?

rotfl

j/k Rocky_Stallone :)

I actually enjoy Keanu Reeve's performance for the most part and although I constantly mock Tarrantino every time we watch Pulp Fiction ("You have to make some phone CALLS. You got to call some PEOPLE!") he is just a minor cameo, so i will give him a break.

My vote would go for Vin Diesel. I still have enjoyed most of his movies, but his range does seem rather limited. And Paul Walker. My god, those two stiffs in Fast and Furious made for some interesting "acting." I "live my life one mile at a time" indeed.

Keanu, hands down.

Did you see the scene in Dracula where Gary Oldham suddenly lunges at Keanu with a sword? The look of shock and surprise on Keanu's face says it all: "I think I'd like a cheese sandwich."

Actually, in a lot of his films...you can tell he can hardly stay stiff at all. He is constanly going from soft to hard soft to hard.

And it shows greatly in his later "roles".

True, but don't deny he isn't stiff.

Stiffness is his schitck (or however the hell you spell that).

His stiffness is evident through his voice. I get a headache just listening to him.

Bill Paxton in Twister was like a block of wood, but he did have some horrible lines to say.

Keanu reeves is always stiff. But since he's young, dumb and full of you know what. It is fitting.

caiman 05-04-03 11:32 PM

That old guy that took the Viagra in Road Trip.

Gdrlv 05-05-03 12:22 AM

Keanu Reeves would be my pick too. The guy is a terrible actor, but that didn't really seem to matter in the Matrix...

custom001 05-05-03 10:31 AM

Hayden Christensen?

wendersfan 05-05-03 10:57 AM

David Hemmings.

He used to be referred to as "England's most expensive piece of wood."

DonnachaOne 05-05-03 12:07 PM
